Meeting The Pioneer Woman . . .

Saturday was an insanely crazy day in NYC! First I met Adam Gertler and won a new cell phone at the BlogHer expo. Next we had some deliciously decadent cookies from Levain Bakery. Then late Saturday afternoon I got a message on my phone saying I’d won a book from the expo. Jenny and I headed back to the Hilton to pick it up. We were standing in the hotel lobby, and you will never guess who walked through the doors…

I had my back turned, and I heard Jenny say hi to someone. Jenny knew everyone at the event, so I wasn’t too surprised! :) But when I heard her say Ree my head whipped around so fast you would’ve thought it was going to pop off!

MY OTHER RECIPES

I was so surprised, I don’t think I could even remember my name, much less introduce myself. But Ree hugged us and said “It’s like meeting old friends!”

Then she turned to me… I still don’t think I had been able to utter an intelligible word out of my gaping mouth at this point… and she said,

“Amanda, your scarf tutorial changed my life!”

*Pick me up off the floor!*

The Pioneer Woman has seen my dorky little scarf tutorial?!! The one I only begrudgingly posted because you guys talked me into it?! She’s seen it and recognized me from it, and could immediately place me?? Oh my goodness, I think I just about fainted at that point.

Let me just say, Ree was so, so sweet. And beautiful. And sweet. So glad I got to meet her! She seemed to be in no hurry, she just stood around with us in the lobby, talking, making conversation, and gabbing like girlfriends. She told us about falafel, her Today Show appearance, and going out to dinner with her husband. She joked about wearing Spanx. She asked where we were off to next and we told her Sephora. She said, “Oh, Sephora, I love that place! I wish I could go with you girls!” I just love her. :)

THE Pioneer Woman .. love everything about this woman. She is a great inspiration to me and I am sure others. Funny that you were star struck .. sounds like me when I ran into Kenny Chesney at Cracker Barrel Restraunt LOL!

So Fun! I’m afraid I would have been a little star struck too. It’s kind of fun, but wierd, meeting people whose blog you’ve read and feeling like you know them. But really haven’t met them before. Gotta love the blogging world!

LOL!! :) I would have been speechless too!! I think that’s why we all love reading Ree’s blog… she’s so down-to-earth and I can totally see her hanging around to chit-chat!! How exciting that you got to meet and I have to agree with her about your scarf tutorial… it was pretty fabulous!! ;)

Wait. Wait. Did I miss it?
I love when you take trips but it’s for a very selfish reason (I’ll admit it). I love the breakdown of what you wore. I know you did it for your LA trip. Will you do it for NY?? Im excited for you that you got to meet Ree. I’m new to the blog world. WHO is Ree again?? I need to go check her out…

OMGosh…..how about this….I’ve just VERY recently found your blog (and I LOVE your freakishly neat nature, definatley a kindered spirit. I was thinking hey…I remember the unusual name Ree…Oh Ma Gosh..I just read about her in Guidepost magazine and I was going to look up her blog! Does God just know how to put us together or what?! Makes the world seem a little bit smaller (and nicer). Love the scarf tutorial…you know I had to watch. Resolving to wear all the scarves I keep collecting!
